To those of you visiting Just Women’s Sports for the first time, welcome — you’re coming aboard at just the right time. To those of you who have been with us from day one, thank you — your loyalty and support are what’s made today possible.

We are thrilled to announce our seed financing, led by Will Ventures and with participation from Kevin Durant’s Thirty Five Ventures, as well as an incredible group of athletes, including Elena Delle Donne, Hilary Knight, Sam Mewis, Kelley O’Hara and Arike Ogunbowale.

With this fundraising, we’re taking JWS to a whole new level, which is why we wanted to take a moment to re-introduce ourselves.

First off, you might be asking: Why Just Women’s Sports?

We exist because just 4% of media coverage is dedicated to women’s sports. We’re here to change that. From podcasts and newsletters, to highlights and long-form features, we’re building the media ecosystem these fans and athletes deserve.

We’re already delivering comprehensive coverage and one-of-a-kind original features. Now, we’re ramping it up. We have new teammates, new investors and new athlete partners, who all believe that women’s sports are worth more than a token vertical or back-page story.

Together, we are going to take our coverage to the next level.

What do we have to offer right now?

• Podcasts:
• • Just Women’s Sports (hosted by Kelley O’Hara): The two-time World Cup champ sits down with the biggest athletes in the world to discuss the untold stories behind their success.
  • Tea with A & Phee (hosted by A’ja Wilson and Napheesa Collier): The reigning WNBA MVP and 2019 Rookie of the Year take you inside the WNBA season.
  • Snacks (hosted by Sam Mewis and Lynn Williams): Two of soccer’s biggest stars dish on the USWNT, NWSL, life off the field and everything in between.
• Social media: Everything you need to see and know in women’s sports, at the click of a button or swipe through. Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.

• More shows: We’re partnering with some of the biggest names in the game and the ideas are flowing. We want to pull back the curtain even more to show you what life is like for these athletes on and off the field, as they chase championships, change culture, push for social justice and build their own businesses. Stay tuned.
• More hype: We can’t celebrate women in sports and amplify their voices unless their work is accessible. Bringing that to you is behind everything we do, and the product is only getting bigger and better. This is a commitment, not a pastime; an investment, not a trial.

At Just Women’s Sports, we’re 100% women’s sports, 100% of the time. And we’re still just getting started.

So, don’t go anywhere, because the untold stories in women’s sports are bursting at the seams. And we’re going to be the ones who bring them to you first.

The NWSL is heading back to the ballpark, with 2024 expansion side Bay FC announcing Tuesday that the club will take on the Washington Spirit inside Oracle Park, the home of MLB's San Francisco Giants.

Shifting the August 23rd match to the baseball diamond isn't just a spectacle — the move builds on Bay FC's continuous ambitions to claim the top NWSL attendance record by filling the Bay Area ballpark's 40,260 seats.

Though the 25-year-old Oracle Park has previously hosted men's contests, August's NWSL match will be the first professional women's soccer game in the venue's history.

Similarly, while this will be the first NWSL competition in San Francisco's baseball venue, it's not the first league match in an MLB stadium.

Last summer, the Chicago Stars hosted Bay FC at Wrigley Field, packing an NWSL-record 35,038 soccer fans into the MLB home of the Chicago Cubs.

That June 8th, 2024, attendance surpassed the previous league-record crowd of 34,130 that attended USWNT icon Megan Rapinoe's final Seattle home game in 2023.

How to attend Bay FC vs. Washington at Oracle Park

To be a part of the potentially record-breaking August 23rd crowd, tickets will be available for general purchase beginning at 12 PM ET on May 6th.

Fans interested in securing pre-sale tickets can add their names to the online list.

In Tuesday night's NWSL action, Portland upset a rising Gotham side 4-1 behind three debut goals from the Thorns' promising rookie class.

The rare midweek match came courtesy of next month's Concacaf W Champions Cup. Both Gotham and Portland advanced to the international club event's semifinals last October, forcing them to pull double-duty and add this week's extra regular-season NWSL game to accommodate the tournament's schedule.

The tight turnaround certainly didn't rattle the Thorns.

Portland newcomers Marie-Yasmine "Mimi" Alidou, Caiya Hanks, and Jayden Perry all earned their first NWSL goals in the match, before offseason signee Deyna Castellanos reinforced the victory with an 80th-minute chip.

As for Gotham, 32-year-old star forward Esther provided a bright spot for the NJ/NY squad, notching her fifth goal of the young season to boost herself to the top of the league's early Golden Boot race.

Despite the loss, Friday's strong outing against Angel City has Gotham still holding steady at No. 4 in the standings. However, both No. 5 Portland and No. 6 ACFC are close on the Bats' heels, with all three teams currently tied at eight points apiece.

"What I told the team is that we lost the battle tonight, but this is a long war," said Gotham head coach Juan Carlos Amoros following the match. "We're there together on this."

Gotham will take the pitch once again on Saturday, when they'll face East Coast rivals Washington at 1 PM ET. Live coverage will air on CBS.

Meanwhile, Portland will close out the NWSL's sixth matchday by hosting Racing Louisville at 4 PM ET on Sunday, streaming live on Paramount+.

The Soccer Tournament (TST) presented by RBC Wealth Management revealed its 2025 women's bracket on Tuesday, with 16 7v7 teams gearing up to compete for the $1 million winner-take-all grand prize this June.

Additional teams participating in the competition include 7v7 offshoots of NWSL clubs Angel City, KC Current, and 2024 runners-up NC Courage, as well as former USWNT goalkeeper Hope Solo's Solo FC.

Returning to Cary, North Carolina, for its third year, TST doubled the size of its women's bracket after a successful eight-team debut in 2024.

"Our inaugural women's championship game viewership performed exceptionally well, as we grew our audience 452% from the beginning of the game until the moment the game-winning goal was scored," TST founder and CEO Jon Mugar told The Athletic.

"TST soccer is electrifying," Mugar added. "Our goal is to become the preeminent soccer festival in the world. Judging by the number of returning fans and teams, we are well on our way."

The LPGA season's first Grand Slam tees off in Texas on Thursday, when the world's top golfers will compete for a piece of the $8 million purse at the 2025 Chevron Championship.

After a record-breaking 2024 run, world No. 1 Nelly Korda enters her 10th Chevron Championship as the tournament's reigning champion, though the 26-year-old US star has yet to win a major event this year.

Korda will be attempting to hold off some of the sport's biggest names this weekend, as the 132-player field includes 24 of the world's top 25 golfers and all eight champions from the 2025 LPGA Tour so far.

Joining Korda in seeking another victory at the event are the annual tournament's 2023 winner, world No. 4 Lilia Vu, and 2022 champion No. 53 Jennifer Kupcho.

Both Korda and Vu are returning to play after dealing with lingering injuries, while fellow US golfer Kupcho hasn't won an LPGA Tour event since July 2022.

Other US players to watch include No. 8 Lauren Coughlin, fresh off a third-place finish at the 2025 LA Championship, and No. 58 Lexi Thompson, with the 2014 Chevron champion emerging from retirement to compete in her first tournament of 2025.

Rising international stars like Sweden's No. 42 Ingrid Lindblad as well as Japan's No. 17 Rio Takeda and twin sisters No. 18 Akie and No. 41 Chisato Iwai are also favorites to claim the 2025 Chevron trophy.

The 2025 Chevron Championship tees off on Thursday at 8:15 AM ET.

Select live coverage of the four-day tournament will air across ESPN+, The Golf Channel, and NBC/Peacock.
